Doctor Oneshots

Asleep.

Rose was asleep on the jumpseat.

This wasn't an unusual sight, not in the slightest, but it was still one of his favorites, simply because she looked so beautiful while she slept.

Her hair, which was slipping out of the twirled period up do she'd put it in, whisped across her cheek and nose and eye, the pink headband sliding slowly back from it's most useful position, not doing much good in holding back those flyaways anymore. Her head was lolled to one side, a slight smile from whatever dream she was enjoying gracing her peaceful face.

Oh, he was so happy to see that face after today. Thought maybe he'd never stop looking at it again. He'd certainly never take it for granted again.

Her feet were tucked under her, beneath her pink circle skirt, which would probably be very uncomfortable for her later, but he didn't have the hearts to wake her. She'd slumped off her denim jacket hours ago, leaving her in a simple pink tank top ("No one's goin' to pay that close attention, Doctor, and I'm not sweatin' my way though the performance.") that was coming untucked and riding up ever so slowly to show off a strip of light skin along her stomach. One arm was draped lazily there, the other tucked up behind her head as a makeshift pillow.

She was adorable.

A soft grunt escaped her and her nose scrunched just a little. She shivered.

Smiling, he shrugged off his jacked and laid it across her, chuckling quietly when she gripped the edge and nuzzled her nose into it, settling down again.

In a few hours, Rose would wake up again, and complain about the cramps she had, either in her feet or her neck or her back, or some combination of the three. He'd grin and tease her for how often she needed to sleep, and she'd tease him back for his lack of need for it. Then he'd offer to carry her to her room next time, and she'd blush and say there was no need, and she'd hand him back his coat, and he'd tease her again. She'd smack him, giggling all the while, and they'd be off on their next adventure.

But for now, he was happy just to do what he always did. He smiled softly at her and swept a few of the loose hairs back behind her ear before leaning over, kissing her cheek, and whispering, practically just breathing something in her ear. He straightened up and turned back to the console, stealing one more glance over his shoulder at his beautifully human girl before turning and starting to fiddle and tinker with his beloved ship.

She smiled a little brighter in her sleep. Same as always.
